1. Introduction to Pink Guava
Table of Contents
Pink Guava (Ổi Hồng) is a vibrant and highly aromatic variety of guava celebrated for its beautiful rosy-pink flesh. Unlike the common white guava, the pink variety is prized for its intense tropical fragrance—often described as a blend of strawberry, pear, and floral notes—and its softer, juicier texture.
At Vinahugo, we source premium Pink Guava from the sun-drenched orchards of the Mekong Delta. This variety is not only a culinary delight but also a “superfruit” known for having a higher concentration of certain antioxidants than its white-fleshed counterparts.
